Really annoyed right now, two of the biggest releases of their year (Cataclysm and Skyrim) were pre-ordered months in advance from a certain rainforest related company, both PC games.. both are messed up.
First was Cataclysm.. which was pre-ordered months in advance first day delivery by my brother for me. Snowy Weather, royal mail fail to deliver it in time. In fact, it gets delivered a month later and we had to buy a new copy just because they messed up.
Now this, Skyrim was pre-ordered months ago, august or maybe even july/june. Everything seemed fine until this night when they finally say that they cannot charge my dad for the game for whatever reason.
They waited months to tell us this, not bothering to check or charge beforehand, and then notify us only a few hours before the game is released.
I have personally requested 3 pre orders for 3 games, the only one they actually followed through on was Fable 3 - a console game that I played a few times, enjoyed, but wasn't as big a release as the other two, and not as looked forward to by me.
I'm really frustrated by this, because Amazon have almost never let down my brother or father, yet they've let me down more times than didn't.
I'm extremely tempted to never pre-order a game from them again because of this. And I miss out on the cloth map too, that I cannot get now unless I want a stained torn overpriced version off ebay a few months in the future. Brilliant.
